I agree on the Chimay Ale... We used to get it at a bar out here - just had to be careful with it - before they moved to the new packaging plant you'd find a few foreign items every now and then (wood splinters in the dregs was a problem). Got hooked on Fuller's ESB at the same bar (they used to keep it in stock just for us) - can't always find it around here anymore.

Some micro-brews are rare treasures, but they are hard to find and usually far away. However, I have found an import at my local Albertson's grocery that has become my favorite beer: Chimay Ale. It is brewed by Belgian Trappist monks, and it will give you an idea of what heaven is like. Try it, you will not be disappointed. http://www.chimay.com John Hebert __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
